U+103C "ြ" Myanmar Consonant Sign Medial Ra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+103C "ြ" Myanmar Consonant Sign Medial Ra is a combining diacritical mark used in the Myanmar script to represent the medial consonant "ra" (the sound /j/ or /r/) within a syllable stack, appearing as a subscript or attached modification beneath or beside a base consonant character. It is an essential component in the orthography of Burmese and other languages using the Myanmar script, such as Mon, Shan, and Karen, where it alters the pronunciation of the initial consonant to create a consonant cluster with a medial "r" or "y" sound, depending on the language and context. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Myanmar block and requires proper rendering support from fonts that correctly position it relative to its base character.
